Review: Vamplayers by Rusty Fischer

11161444Lily is a vampire sister, a special kind of vampire who ferrets out Vamplayers–that is the egomaniac monsters who turn whole high schools and leave towns with piles of corpses. And she hates it, because why would she stay a lowly sidekick wen she could be a super savior/hero instead? She’s sure she’s better than playing the tramp on their latest mission too, but there’s something ore to Nightshade Academy than a would-be teen Dracula building his harem of brides.

Vamplayers is a rip on every high school vampire/vampire finishing school book out there. The mythology of vampire is downright wishy-washy, but hey, teen angst plus vampires plus hot boys and popularity battles. And bullying! Fischer’s tone is great, equal parts action and wry, tired-of-this-bs humor. Fang-in-cheek without too much goofiness, it’s a fun read, especially if you can’t help loving vampire books despite certain long winded teen vampire series that make your eyes roll.

Contains: language, gore, sexual language & situations
